Warhammer: Don't Call Me the God of All Machines

Chapter 830 A big gift

Having witnessed the sudden war between the Ancient Alliance and the Necromancers, Loshi's thoughts were still somewhat disordered, immersed in the shock that exceeded his comprehension.

Whether it was the ancient holy alliance's miraculous psionic tactics or the almost magical supernatural technology displayed by the space necromancers, these were things he, a human from the future, had never seen before.

Compared to this war in heaven, the Horus Rebellion seemed as mild and harmless as children playing house in kindergarten.

While humanity was still struggling to conquer planets, throwing its forces into bloody and brutal space naval battles and surface carnage wars.

The two factions in the War of Heaven are using star systems as the basic unit, destroying each other's manpower while increasing their own.

Material celestial bodies, time, and space are all part of their war; a multi-dimensional war is being waged simultaneously, and none of them can be lost.

However, Rosie was not discouraged by this. Either of these two camps had been developing for far longer than humanity.

If given the same environment and conditions, Losi is confident that humans would not be inferior to them.

Rather than feeling ashamed or even frustrated by the inability to catch up, it is more important to learn something from these predecessors.

Even just some technological inspiration, or ideas for new forms of warfare, are excellent.

But when he heard Kua say "the construction and maintenance methods of the network", all his distracting thoughts vanished.

No? This...this...this works too?
He and Dorn and the others came to this point in time only to help the two Primarchs resolve the temporal disorder effects that were entangled in them.

By the way, Rosie also wanted to take this rare opportunity to witness firsthand what kind of chaotic and monstrous scene the War of Heaven was, this glorious and magnificent era.

Who would have thought that as soon as they arrived, Kua predicted the timeline would change, and that they would so easily make contact with the Ancient Saints.

That's the Internet, the most advanced faster-than-light travel method in the entire universe.

Even the Space Bridge network that Roxi is currently promoting can only be considered a substitute for the official online channel. If there are legitimate online channels to choose from, who would want the Space Bridge?

If we compare the warp to a vast ocean, then each race has its own unique way of navigating.

The human empire's warp engine is used to navigate submarines through the deep sea, which is filled with man-eating behemoths and terrifying currents. It is fast but very dangerous.

The Eldar used underwater tunnels for faster-than-light travel, avoiding contact with the dangerous Warp Sea. They were fast, had low risk, and could even hide in the underwater tunnels to avoid danger.

The space necromancers travel by plane, never venturing into the seabed or touching the seawater. Of course, they occasionally use the Tombstone Gate to hack into the underwater tunnel of the Webway and hitch a ride.

Orcs are similar to humans, but they prefer to swim naked in the ocean, while engaging in passionate hand-to-hand combat with those very waaagh warp monsters to relieve the pressure on their stomachs.

Loxi was certain that if the Emperor heard this conversation, he would be so anxious that he would jump off his golden throne and seize the technology related to the Internet.

"Are you really going to hand over the technology for building and maintaining the network to us?" Losi was still a little taken aback.

"This is the internet!"

"This technology is simply too precious..."

"Why not?" Qua asked rhetorically.

The Creator was perplexed; he could not fully comprehend the way future humans would think.

"If our race were the kind of stingy beings who hoard everything, we would not sow the seeds of life throughout the galaxy, nor would we teach them how to grow, develop, and thrive."

"The original intention behind the establishment of the Webway was to provide a tool for races born in every corner of the galaxy to communicate, exchange information, and understand each other."

"The universe is so vast that even the speed of light seems incredibly slow in the face of such a great distance. The constant speed of light and the unimaginable spatial distance are like an invisible chain, locking the upper limit of the development of civilization."

"How tragic would it be if a civilization were born in some remote galaxy and never came into contact with other civilizations from its birth to its destruction?"

“Any friendly race, any life that is hostile to Chaos, is entitled to use the Web Path; it has never been a closed private property.”

"These races can also unite with each other through the Web, becoming our help in fighting the threat of Chaos and driving the encroachment of the Warp out of the real universe."

"Unity is the best approach."

Upon hearing the praise, Rosie fell silent.

He desperately wanted to curse the Adalings.

The future Aidaling race did a great job; they directly privatized the Infinite Web Dao as the successors of the Ancient Saints, refusing to allow other races to use it.

In some ways, even their status as heirs is questionable.

"I think you should have mastered the transportation method of using the subspace engine for travel, but the drawbacks are also obvious. The risks of navigating in the increasingly chaotic Sea of ​​Souls are getting greater and greater in the future."

"If you can also master the Internet, then you will undoubtedly have a huge advantage."

"Of course, the nets at that time were definitely old and in disrepair and had problems. You would need to work hard to repair the problematic nets and build new nets according to your needs."

"This technology is just the threshold; most races, even if they obtain it, will not be able to create the network."

The relevant knowledge was directly packaged and sent into Rosie's mind using psychic energy.

Even a regular supercomputer would probably crash after receiving such an astronomical amount of information.

Loxi only glanced through the relevant content before being deeply shocked by the incredible technology of the Ancient Saints.

Compared to this, the human version of the Web Dao, which the Emperor created in the underground palace in collaboration with the sages of the Cult of Machines, was indeed far too clumsy.

If the Emperor had obtained this information earlier, the Web Dao Project would probably have been successfully launched long ago, and the Emperor wouldn't still be sitting on the Golden Throne now.

Loshi confirmed the completeness of the information, and then respectfully performed the highest human courtesy on Qua.

After seeing Lothie's actions, Danteok, Dorn, and Perturabo followed suit.

Perturabo didn't want to bow to an alien, but Dorn simply shoved him to the ground without giving him a chance to object.

“Thank you for your generous gift, sage,” Rosie said sincerely, without the slightest bit of formality or pretense.

"Don't thank us. If you really have the will, take over our unfinished mission and drive the tentacles of the warp out of our universe."

"Even though most of our race's power comes from the warp and the tidal fluctuations of the sea of ​​souls, if we can free our universe from the fate of being swallowed by the warp, our race will not hesitate to give up its power."

"I really like a saying from your race..."

"If you hear the Tao in the morning, you will die in the evening."

He read it in a drawn-out tone.

The praise instilled even greater awe in Rosie.

Each ancient saint possesses incredible spiritual power, capable of extinguishing stars with a single breath and manipulating time at will, reversing cause and effect.

Their individual lifespan is close to eternal; barring unforeseen circumstances, they can live forever.

These all come from the gifts of psychic energy, which is the greatest advantage of the Ancient Saints, a race that has achieved psychic ascension.

It can be said that even the subspace gods in the future timeline cannot match the abilities displayed by the Ancients in the real universe.

But Kua and his kinsmen could abandon these without hesitation.

"Even the cost of racial extinction is not something we cannot bear. After all, compared to the survival of a universe, the survival of a single race is so insignificant."

"Perhaps you cannot understand us now, because you have not yet seen things from our perspective," Kua sighed, seemingly revealing a sense of loneliness at the top.

"The universe gave birth to life, and life in turn nourishes the universe; the close relationship between the two is beyond imagination."

"But it doesn't matter. I have high hopes for your race. As long as you can overcome this difficulty, you will realize this sooner or later."

Rose listened intently to Quah's teachings.

For a leader, you may not have strong combat capabilities or perfect command skills, but you must have the ability to listen to the right opinions.

As pioneers in the fight against chaos, the views and experiences of the ancient sages are invaluable treasures for humanity, a somewhat bewildered latecomer.

"Secondly, besides the online platform, I have another gift to give you."

No sooner had the boastful voice fallen than a tall Kork orc general appeared before him.

“I already know your future, where you are engaged in a not-so-small war with the green-skinned orcs. Such a thing should never happen again.”

"The Kork Orcs were a weapon of war we created to deal with the crisis, but it is clear that in the future, this weapon of war has been distorted and rewritten."

"That Kork orc who was accidentally transported to the future did not know what to do after leaving his original war environment, so he instinctively started another war."

"War is the orcs' way of thinking. Only war can awaken their closed minds and make them smarter and wiser," he said eloquently.

Loshi also recalled what he had observed when facing the ghoul orc empire.

The orcs are trying to imitate human civilization, attempting to fill their empty inner world with the core elements of other civilizations.

This was clearly the idea of ​​the Kork orcs, because the other Ork orcs would never have any thoughts other than waaagh.

Only the Kork orc realized the enormous problems within his race, and he tried to break through and change them, but he clearly failed.

Orcs couldn't distinguish between good and bad things about humans; they simply learned everything from them.

The saying goes, "Those who learn from me live, those who imitate me die." The ghoul orc empire's rapid demise was largely due to its blind imitation of humans.

They did learn, but the bad news is, they learned everything.

"The orcs are an excellent weapon, and they should not be allowed to sink into oblivion, at least not by waging war against their allies who are also fighting against Chaos."

Kua looked at the Kork orc general and said seriously.

Rosie also noticed Qua's personality; he was easygoing about most things, but he would immediately become very serious when it came to fighting against chaos.

"The Orcs of the future have been emasculated by the Necromancers of space. They are not only far inferior to the past in terms of technology and individual strength, but even the meaning of their existence has been stripped away."

"They have no idea why they are fighting; they only know that they are fighting for the sake of fighting."

Loshi said helplessly that he both loved and hated the Orcs.

Even though the human expeditionary force had destroyed the ghoul orc empire, it was not a catastrophic disaster for the Ork race as a whole.

Their reproductive capacity is too strong. If even one orc spore is overlooked, an overwhelming green tide will be conceived again from that origin.

No one knows how many Orks there are in the entire galaxy, or even beyond.

Driven by their instincts, the Orcs will continue to reproduce and pursue new waaagh!, causing trouble for humans time and time again.

But objectively speaking, the Orcs are actually the best weapon against Chaos.

Their terrifying reproductive capacity allows them to possess an inexhaustible army, enough to contend with equally massive warp demons capable of rebirth.

Meanwhile, thanks to the protection of Brother Goumao, the souls of all Ork are under the protection of a local area network, making it difficult for corruption from the Warp to have any effect.

In comparison, even human warriors who devoutly believe in the Emperor and have their loyalty reinforced by a mental seal are far less resistant to corruption than the Ork.

Not all humans possess an iron will, and the Empire cannot possibly protect all mortals.

It wasn't that no one in the Imperium had considered using the power of the Ork to fight Chaos, but this idea was almost impossible to realize. Humans couldn't control the Ork; these extreme warmongers would attack indiscriminately against all targets, whether human or warp demon.

"Could it be..." Rosie's eyes lit up immediately.

Loshi understood that he wouldn't waste time with useless chatter. Since Loshi had brought up the matter of the green-skinned orcs, he must be planning to do something.

"The Kork Orcs are war machines that we created at the end of the War of Heaven. From a purely military perspective, they are even better than the Eldar."

"We had hoped that the addition of the Kork orcs would turn the tide of the battle, but it seems that it was just wishful thinking on our part."

"The orcs' weapon should not be wasted like this. After losing control of our race, the orcs also lost their master, and this was true until your time."

Kua's fingers twitched slightly, and then a ball of slightly green energy emerged from the body of the Kork orc general in front of him.

The Kork orc, whose power had been drained, immediately became listless, but still maintained a resolute and unyielding demeanor, fully cooperating with the Ancient Saint's arrangements.

"We have inscribed the original code of obedience to the node orcs into the genetic sequence of the Kork orcs, and the greatest node orc is their orc emperor."

"Although the Orcs are a degraded form of Kork, this aspect remains unchanged."

"If you can control their orc emperor, then you can control the entire orc race."

The energy extracted from General Kolk's body condensed into a sparkling green gem, which then slowly fell into Rosie's hand.

"This is the crystallization I've condensed to control the orc waaagh's energy. You can split it into two parts and give them to an orc warlord. Once he becomes the new orc emperor, you can use the other half of the crystal to control him."

Loshi accepted the gift from Kwak. The emerald emanated a faint warmth, and intense Waaagh energy was accumulating within it.

"Control the orc emperor?" Lothie raised an eyebrow, looking incredulous.

"This sounds feasible, but what would happen if half of the energy crystal were lost?"

Roche has become accustomed to looking at things from a negative perspective first, since in this universe, things always seem to tend to develop in a more negative direction.

It's as if an invisible hand is manipulating fate at will, making it more absurd, more bizarre, and more incomprehensible.

“If you lose the remaining half of the energy crystal, it could cause the Orc Emperor to become even more powerful,” Qua stated frankly.

"After all, this thing can greatly amplify the Orcs."

“I know what you’re worried about, so this energy crystal has another use.”

"Besides the Orcs, you humans can also use it."

"Humans who use it will gain the power to control waaagh energy, which in the instinctive understanding of all Ork Orcs is just a fellow human who looks a little different from themselves."

"Of course, controlling waaagh energy with a human body requires bearing a heavier burden and pressure."

If his will collapses, then the waaagh energy will also completely spiral out of control, and you will lose this key.

"As for how to choose, it's up to you."

The whispers of praise echoed in Rosie's mind; it was indeed a difficult choice.

The enormous risk meant the enormous reward. When Lothie thought that humans could become the second race after the Old Saints to be able to control the orcs, his heart began to race uncontrollably.

The wildly growing Ork are already so troublesome; if the Ork were to receive careful support from the human empire, just how much power they could unleash would be beyond even Loshi's imagination.

Loxi even felt a strong sense of pride and ambition. With the human empire controlling the Ork, a crucial piece in their game, it seemed not impossible to completely overthrow them and penetrate the Eye of Terror.

In any case, these Ork have an incredibly high resistance to Warp corruption, and their production cost is also incredibly low, so they can continuously mass-produce troops to attack the Warp.

Let the orc army fight against the demon legions, while the human elite forces can carry out decapitation strikes on designated targets as needed.

At that time, even beneath the Blood God's bronze throne, countless Orc armies will emerge. If He dares to move his position, the Orcs will seize his divine domain.

If the enemy can go, so can I?

"By the way, I have another question I'd like answered." Loshi thought for a moment and continued to press, "If we use this method to control the Ork, will their backer, the Second Brother Goumao, react?"

Loxi's concerns were not unfounded. Although the two Chaos Gods were always fighting each other, once their forces united against a common enemy, even the four Chaos Gods would not gain much advantage.

Nurgle was once beaten up by the two brothers who teamed up to beat him up. Although it is impossible to confirm exactly how much power Nurgle used, it is an obvious record.

"As for that, I think you don't need to worry about it."

He pondered for a few seconds before answering.

"Your understanding of Brother Mao is flawed. When we created the Kork orcs, we used racial beliefs to create an orc god."

"But later, the interference of the space necromancers caused the orcs to split and fall into civil war, and the orc god also split in two, becoming the second brother of the orcs."

"They should have existed as one entity, but after being cursed by the space necromancers, they fell into internal strife, just like the Ork."

"The self-awareness of these two races' gods is not as strong and independent as that of the Eldar gods. After all, the Ork are not a very clear-headed and rational race."

"They possess all the characteristics of the Ork: belligerent, cunning, savage, and brutal."

"Once you gain control of the Orcs, and give them more opportunities to wage war, Brother Goumao will not only not hinder you, but will actually help you."

"Of course, I can't guarantee it 100%, after all, your era is far too far in the past compared to ours."

"The changes that have occurred are enough to make all prophecies wrong, just as when I foresaw the future, I never encountered you people from the future coming before me."

"Even the god of fate cannot truly see the whole picture of fate. If you meet someone who says he can control fate, then he is just a fool who has been played by fate."

With Qua's analysis, Rosie's worries lessened considerably.

He desperately wanted to go back immediately and use the Waaagh energy crystal to take control of all the Orcs that had been scattered.

Despite the fact that humans hate these green-skinned aliens to the core during their war with the ghoul orc empire.

However, if humans were told that from then on, the Ork would become their weapons of war and loyal allies.

Even humans, who have an irreconcilable hatred for them, will accept the orcs without hesitation.

Faced with such enormous benefits, so-called hatred and bottom lines are often not that important.

Kua seemed to be in a good mood. He raised his left hand, rested it lightly on his chin, and then said.

"This is all I can give you. Go back, go back to your timeline."

“Every era has its own tasks, and every race has its own responsibilities. You do not belong here.”

He spoke gently, a strange glint seemingly emanating from his vertical pupils.

Loxi also gazed at this generous ancient saint, knowing that this parting would be the last time they would meet.

By the thirty-first millennium of humankind, the Ancient Saints had long since vanished, and most races were completely unaware that a race called the Ancient Saints had ever existed long, long ago.

Roche no longer resists the pull of time; the timeline is rejecting them, and these humans going against the current are likely to disrupt the normal progress of the timeline.

The figures of the five people became increasingly ethereal, and countless specks of light scattered away with the wind.

Kua relaxed his spiritual energy, put himself down, and walked on the ground on his feet.

The ancient saint stood with his hands behind his back, quietly standing where Roxi had once stood, raising his head to gaze into the distance.

General Kirk and Eldar Lance followed closely behind the Creator.

They didn't speak, but guessed that the sage might be grieving the loss of a newly made friend.

Kua stood there for a long time, and even Lance, who had followed him for many years, had never seen his creator show such a posture.

“Fate…it’s truly wondrous,” Kua murmured.

"Just because this game of chess has no solution at this point in time does not mean that it will have no solution at a future point in time."

The human race is protected by a chaotic god who considers himself human, and also receives the full assistance of an unpredictable being outside the purview of fate.

"Hope may be faint, but it has never died out; it has always existed."

……

"We're back."

"It all seems like a dream. If I didn't actually have that knowledge in my mind, I probably wouldn't be able to tell whether it's real or an illusion."

In the orc palace of Greenskin Star, a dazzling pillar of light suddenly appeared, and then Loxi and the others stepped onto the same ground again.

A squad of Ultramarines and Black Templar Space Marines were on guard duty. Upon seeing Loshi and his group return, they immediately sounded the alarm and called for the others to assemble.

Loxi looked around and saw that the orc palace seemed to have been thoroughly searched and cleaned up, with the original scene of battle and chaos completely gone.

The Black Templar Space Marines stared intently at Rog Dorn, knowing that Lothie's disappearance was to help their father escape the temporal anomaly.

They were still very anxious until the outcome became clear.

The sons of Dorne feared that they would face separation again after just meeting their father.

They've only found Dorne once in over a hundred years. Who knows when they'll encounter the original again?
Now, as Dorn's serious face relaxed slightly and a smile appeared on his tight lips, the Black Templar could finally relax.

They could announce to everyone that from this moment forward, Roger Dorn would return to the Empire and to his Legion.

Before long, Guilliman and Vulcan also rushed over.

"It seems I don't need to confirm anymore; you have returned in triumph."

The Makulaq's gaze swept over Peturabo, who had regained his original size, but did not linger long on this shameful brother.

"Dorn, by the Emperor, we can finally continue to fight side by side."

Guilliman embraced the Fist of the Empire tightly, followed closely by Vulcan, leaving only Perturabo standing somewhat awkwardly to the side.

“Yes, I have returned,” Dorn said firmly.

"Eternity for the Empire! Eternity for Humanity!"

“And Perturabo.” Dorn noticed that his two brothers seemed unwilling to talk to Perturabo, so he took the initiative to ease the tension.

"Having gone through so much, I think he has realized the mistakes he made in the past. Perhaps you can give him a chance to atone for his sins."

Perturabo stared blankly at Dorn, watching his brother, whom he had once both loathed and envied, now trying to win the forgiveness of his other brothers.

Deep within his heart, covered by countless layers of thick metal, something finally shattered completely after being loosened.

"Alright, alright, now's not the time for reminiscing." Luo Xi forcefully interrupted this moment of reconciliation between the brothers.

“I have received something extremely important that I need to discuss with you.”

"About the Empire, about the future of humanity."
